Description
What kind of wine it is
Bailly Reverdy Sancerre La Mercy-Dieu is a still white wine that expresses the authenticity of Sauvignon Blanc grown in the Sancerre region. To the eye, it appears a straw yellow colour with greenish highlights, while on the nose it offers a complex bouquet, characterised by notes of citrus and white flowers combined with a distinct mineral touch. On the palate, the entry is fresh and clean, with a structure that harmoniously balances the liveliness of the grape variety and a pleasant roundness. The finish, long and elegant, makes it ideal paired with goat's cheese and poultry in a creamy sauce.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the Loire Valley, from a vineyard area of about ten hectares. Its character derives from a blend of soils emblematic of the Sancerre region: the calcareous Caillottes, the flint-rich Silex, and the clay-limestone Terres Blanches. This geological synergy gives the wine a precise territorial imprint, ensuring a linear flavour development. The vines draw from these lands a vibrant freshness and a pronounced savouriness, elements that support the entire progression on the palate.
How it is produced
Production begins with manual harvesting and meticulous selection of the grapes. The bunches undergo gentle pneumatic pressing, followed by cold settling to preserve the purity of the aromas. The natural fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, protecting the authentic expression of the region. The process concludes with maturation on fine lees for several months, an essential oenological practice to give the wine greater complexity, roundness and volume.
History and Curiosities
The Sancerre La Mercy Dieu 2024 from Bailly Reverdy is a true expression of the Loire Valley terroir. This elegant Sauvignon Blanc is born from the combination of three emblematic soils: Caillottes, Silex and Terres Blanches. The natural fermentation and slow maturation on fine lees give the wine remarkable body and great aromatic complexity. Excellent to enjoy between six and twelve months after the harvest, it boasts an ageing potential that allows it to evolve harmoniously over a period of three to six years.
